In this day a cat that runs 160+, while still impressive, it is just old news. Plenty of DIY'ers with some cash have made that happen. AquaMania knocking down a 204 mph run up here a couple weeks back is doing something.

But 160+ mph in a vee, not very many out there. Put things in perspective here and think about it.

This has already been explained time and time again....even the owner of the boat made a posting about it a long long long time ago... Kitty had the jump from the start and were out ahead, kitty blew up and Maxed finished first...

There was nothing to hide about this and the durability of the power was what allowed them to do what they did that day....:kiss:

PS, I'm about 5:15 into the vid. :)

Well, most attorneys who you might consider "ambulance chasers" do not have the requisite skill, experience, or knowledge to handle such a case. In addition, G-d would not be sued, although some idiots have killed innocent people because they thought they were god. And, good thing there are skilled attorneys for families of the innocent victims to turn to when they are left without their husbands, sons, daughters, etc., through no fault of their own.

Not sure what your point was, but my point, perhaps too subtle for you, was that the captain of the boat should at the very least make sure his passengers wear helmets and life jackets when traveling at those speeds.

Let me guess your a attorney?

Represented Tom Newby's estate (RIP 9/11/07) so guessing ScarabJ and Mike A. aren't best of friends.

one engine is broken and dragging an outdrive...the other is trimmed way up and trying hard to keep the boat going at a reasonable pace.

That's ok scarabj nortechj skaterj or whatever your name is, you've never had a boat that ran fast enough for you to worry about death on the water.

Is catmando taking time out of his busy day of s*ckin obama shaft to talk chit about somebody he doesnt know? But then again...he knows everybody in the boating industry on a first name, text messaging, basis. My bad.
